Seattle

[avique]

I was considering dropping in to see Carrie at Thurston Brothers and I started wondering how many of my fellow loungers live in the Seattle area. Assuming that I'm not alone here in the great Pacific NW any interest in a Seattle area meet up?

 

[Barabus]

Count me in.

Make sure you contact her before heading down. We dropped in last Sunday and they were closed and the sign said their new spring hours are by appointment only.

 

[bretron]

We're out there

 

[Sockeye]

I'll likely drop in May 31st. Know a good place for a beer?

I'm in Bellingham and new to the forum. I'll be heading down to Seattle tomorrow for the afternoon, but I'm not expecting to be able to visit the shop as I didn't make an appointment. I'll at least check out Mac Pherson Leather and maybe the Museum of Flight. Is the Blue Moon Tavern still around? We used to go there after class when I was in school.

Welcome to the Lounge. If you have a chance you should stop by and check out Thurston Brothers. The shop is small but packed with great leather jackets. They are usually open on the weekends and Carrie is always fun to chat with.

As for the Blue Moon, it's been a few years since I attended the UW but last time I was in the U-District is was still open for business.

 

[Barabus]

Blue Moon is still open, fyi. Cannot wait for my LHB. Should arrive in a week or two more.

There are so many places for a beer...try Pike Place Market for starters. Or, go down to Ivar's, order a bowl of their famous clam chowder, then chase it with a good beer.

Is good beer easy to find in Seattle? Is the Pope Catholic?

Not really a thread about outerwear.

 

[TXFlyGuy]

Well...there are two things that are important. Jackets, and beer. Not necessarily in that order.

Flyguy, did you forget flying or are you just going to take photos of that 51 when it is completed.

Nope...did not forget! Flying the Mustang, wearing the appropriate jacket, then meeting at the bar for a beer after the mission is over!

Not really a thread about outerwear.

My opinion is that if we were all sitting around in an actual lounge, having a pint while discussing outerwear, the conversation would go off on different tangents, here and there. This is how just about every group-interaction in which I find myself involved goes, and I find it adds depth and flavor: the conversations always manage to get back to the main topic.

 

[TXFlyGuy]

Ah, depth and flavor...now there is something we can relate to!

 

[ykurtz]

I thought this was a thread about beer. Back on topic.

Right down the street from Insurrection on Greenwood is Naked City brew pub, named for the gritty cop show of the 50's. A great bar, a great set of taps, always a movie on the screen. Good food, too.

I bet Paul Burke would approve!

Thanks for the welcome. Ok, I DID go to Insurrection/Thurston Bros. and met Carrie. She looked at me a little funny when I said I was mainly there to satisfy my leather fetish. I didn't mean it the way it sounded, I just really like leather and, boy, do they have some beautiful jackets. I was surprised that there weren't more military jackets; the shop really had a lot of bike jackets, though. There was one beautiful older jacket in a sort of dark cherry - I don't have the right vocabulary - but it was not in my size. Definitely worth the trip. When I left she said, "'See' you on the web."
